Electronic Configuration and Atomic Structure
This page provides a comprehensive overview of electronic configuration and atomic structure, illustrating key concepts through a detailed diagram.
The diagram presents a wealth of information about atomic structure and electronic configuration:
- Powłoki elektronowe ElectronShells: The diagram shows the main electron shells labeled K, L, M, N, O, P, Q. Each shell has a maximum electron capacity, increasing as you move outward from the nucleus.
Vocabulary: Powłoki elektronowe k l m n o p q refers to the main electron shells in an atom, with K being the innermost and Q the outermost.
- Electron Capacity: The maximum number of electrons for each shell is listed, following the 2n² rule wherenistheshellnumber.
Example: The K shell can hold 2 electrons, the L shell 8 electrons, the M shell 18 electrons, and so on.
- Subshells: The diagram indicates subshells s,p,d,f within each main shell, showing how electron capacity increases in more complex atoms.
Definition: Subshells are subdivisions within main electron shells, each with specific shapes and electron capacities.
- Periodic Table Connection: The diagram links electronic configuration to an element's position in the periodic table, showing how periods and groups relate to electron arrangements.
Highlight: The group number in the periodic table often corresponds to the number of liczba elektronów walencyjnych valenceelectrons in an atom's outermost shell.

Nuclear Composition: The diagram touches on nuclear structure, showing that the nucleus contains protons and neutrons collectivelycallednucleons.
Vocabulary: Chmura elektronowa refers to the region around an atom's nucleus where electrons are most likely to be found.
This comprehensive diagram serves as an excellent reference for understanding the fundamental principles of atomic structure and electronic configuration, crucial for predicting chemical behavior and bonding in elements.
